In brief, I’ve
been providing services in Graphic Design and Production since 1985, when I fell in love with the Macintosh computer while working on a local Vancouver magazine.
Five years later I added teaching to what I do, after being invited by Vancouver Community
College to teach a variety of graphics courses, and to create and teach
an advanced course in Commercial Type and Imagesetting. It was also in 1990 when I discovered one of my favourite programs, Adobe Photoshop. Within a couple of years I became the ‘go to guy’ for image editing, whether to calibrate the colours of a complex photo montage, or to edit four Ontario cows into a photo of an open pasture in Louisiana... don’t ask! I added Web Design to the services I provide after I designed my first web site, for Dedicated Desktop in 1996. Having been an avid photographer since the early 70’s, I started getting more and more into my photography since doing some exciting contract work out on the west coast in 2004. So, in 2008, I decided to focus more on creativity by adding photography and commissioned image editing to the services I provide, and in keeping with this new focus Luckham Creative was born.

Station Creative Group (Ashton, Ontario) Julian is very detail oriented
and creative in web design. His knowledge of this entire process is
outstanding. He is very personable and easy to get along with. His rates
are reasonable and he always goes above and beyond one's requirements.
Tracy Porcari, Ashton Station Creative Group.
Precious
Travellers (Ottawa, Ontario) Luckham Creative was responsible for
designing the logo, business cards and brochures for our new company
and we were thrilled with the service we received. We made numerous
calls prior to choosing Luckham Creative and could not have made a
better choice. Julian was always on time, if not early, with all drafts
and designs. He has an intuitive knowledge of what a customer needs
and wants. Julian came up with the perfect logo for our small business
and was happy to make any changes requested throughout the design process.
We returned just a few short weeks later to have advertisements designed
and were again, very pleased with the results. We are happy to recommend
Luckham Creative to anyone who requires logo and/or stationery designs
and will be using his services again in the future as the need requires.
Joanne and John Norman, Precious Travellers Inc.
Tree
Reading Series (Ottawa, Ontario) We were delighted with the creative
efforts of Julian in producing the new Tree Reading Series website.
We had some vague ideas of what we wanted and he was able to help us
clarify what was essential and then produced a creative and cost-effective
design that more than met our needs.
Rhonda Douglas, Director, Tree Reading Series
RD
Consulting (Ottawa, Ontario) Luckham Creative produced a full set
of branded materials for RD Consulting, from stationery to website.

the money the first time. The process was quick and the final result
was great.
Rhonda Douglas, President, RD Consulting
Innovacom
Marketing & Communication (Hull, Quebec) Finding a good graphic designer that truly embraces the
